Sgt Pops’ Poems for Veterans & Their Friends & Families is a collection of poems written originally for Sgt Pops to understand the feelings he experienced both in and after returning from Vietnam.

It is his hope that friends and family members can better understand why veterans seem to have changed so radically from the way they were before serving in the military and especially in combat.
